- One with bees 2 ready for bees!
One of my hives had 3 supers on when I cleared them. One had no capped stores and lots of empty frames so I left it on top of the BB and just extracted honey from the other 2.
I have read that the honey can be given back to the bees to store in the BB.
I have seen a thread where the super is on top of the BB, with a crown board with a small access hole for the bees to go through in between.
I have also seen posts with the super below the BB presumably with a QE between the super and BB.
Am I correct in thinking these are two ways to achieve the same goal?
If so is one way better?
